For your first question: no. Your connection is tunneled through the (VPN) service provider and opaque to your ISP (apologies if I've misunderstood what you were asking here).
Not sure what you mean about "masking under your IP" - do you mean could two customers of the same VPN company share the IP address from the perspective of any website that they visit via the service? I'm not sure about this, but I would imagine so, since providing a unique address (at least a unique IPv4 address) to each incoming connection would likely be impractical given the scarcity of these addresses (under the IPv4 scheme only ~4 billion addresses exist). More likely the VPN acts as a gateway (in the computer networking sense).
